If you've ever wanted to invest in Apple or Tesla stock but found the price too high or the process too complex, a new trend could change everything and it's powered by blockchain.

Known as tokenised stocks, these digital versions of real-world shares are creating a buzz among crypto users worldwide.

The promise? You'll be able to buy global stocks instantly, even in small, affordable fractions, directly through your crypto wallet without the usual middlemen or high fees.

This means you could, in theory, buy a digital token that represents one real share in a company, just like you buy Bitcoin or Ethereum today. That token would live in your wallet and be tradable globally without the usual delays or banking hassles.
